Things Go Wrong When I Talk About Them

I used to just tell my friends when I liked a guy a long, long, long time ago. Years ago. I just can't anymore. A lot of bad things have happened when I would let a friend or so in on me liking so-and-so so now when I have a crush on a guy, I don't go to my friends and gossip about him and I don't even let them know who he is. I usually won't lie if they ask me if I have a crush on someone though. Sometimes I'll admit that I do, but as far as getting me to admit who he is, fat chance of that happening.
